Full lyrics
Eu vinha descendo a ladeira
E ouvi no sussurro do vento
Que a vida se dá por inteiro
Ao homem que é só sentimento
Eu vinha descendo a ladeira
E ouvi no sussurro do vento
Que a vida se dá por inteiro
Ao homem que é só sentimento
Descendo a ladeira (descendo a ladeira)
Da igreja da sé (da igreja da sé)
Ateu comovido (ateu comovido)
Em busca de fé
Descendo a ladeira
Da igreja da sé
Ateu comovido
Em busca de fé
Fé em Deus, fé na terra, nos astros
Nos riachos, nas matas, nos lagos
No trabalho, fé nos sindicatos
Fé nos búzios, nas conchas do mar
Descendo a ladeira (descendo a ladeira)
Da igreja da sé (da igreja da sé)
Ateu comovido (ateu comovido)
Em busca de fé
Descendo a ladeira
Da igreja da sé
Eu, ateu comovido
Em busca de fé
Fé em Deus, fé na terra, nos astros
Nos riachos, nas matas, nos lagos
No trabalho, fé nos sindicatos
Fé nos búzios, nas conchas do mar
Translation
I was coming down the slope
And I heard in the whisper of the wind
That life is given completely
To the man who is only feeling
I was coming down the slope
And I heard in the whisper of the wind
That life is given completely
To the man who is only feeling
Coming down the slope (coming down the slope)
From the Sé church (from the Sé church)
Moved atheist (moved atheist)
In search of faith
Coming down the slope
From the Sé church
Moved atheist
In search of faith
Faith in God, faith in the earth, in the stars
In the streams, in the forests, in the lakes
In work, faith in the unions
Faith in the shells, in the seashells
Coming down the slope (coming down the slope)
From the Sé church (from the Sé church)
Moved atheist (moved atheist)
In search of faith
Coming down the slope
From the Sé church
I, moved atheist
In search of faith
Faith in God, faith in the earth, in the stars
In the streams, in the forests, in the lakes
In work, faith in the unions
Faith in the shells, in the seashells
